One of the most impactful gifts you could ever make
Loneliness is miserable. As we get older, many of us become less mobile, our social circles shrink, and we can become more and more isolated from others, leaving us feeling very alone. Around one million older people can go up to a month without speaking to anyone, and many say they feel forgotten.
Your support matters. With a gift in your will, you can help make a lasting change to the lives of isolated older people, providing meaningful social connections to enrich their lives.

Looking to the future
Loraine volunteered as a tea party host for 25 years and now plans to continue that legacy through a gift to Re-engage in her will.
Why choose Re-engage?
We’re the only charity solely committed to tackling loneliness and social isolation affecting people aged 75 and older. Since 1965, we’ve been helping older people to reconnect with people in their community through regular social contact, giving them a lifeline of friendship.
By leaving a gift to Re-engage, you will help bring companionship back into the life of an older person and help to tackle the growing problem of loneliness in the UK.
Of course, when it comes to writing your will, friends and family come first. Once loved ones are provided for, more and more people are also choosing to include a gift to charity in their will, to continue to support the causes closest to their heart. Even a small gift to Re-engage could have a profound impact on an older person who may go days or weeks without speaking to anyone.
